It’s the final week of MasterChef: The Professionals, and just four contestants are remaining.

There’s French-born Londoner Arnaud Kaziewicz, who wowed critic William Sitwell with his Chocolate Delice.

Then there’s Matt Healy from Leeds (no, not the frontman of The 1975), who riled judge Marcus Wareing by daring to serve Yorkshire Puddings alongside roast chicken.

Elly Wentworth has made it through after receiving a ’10 out of 10’ from Wareing in the heats, when she served glazed turbot with seaweed macaroni.

Last but not least is Gary Maclean, a senior chef lecturer at Glasgow College who made lobster bisque that Gregg Wallace hailed as the ‘best he’d ever tasted’.

Viewers won’t envy the tasks the four have been set in the first stage of finals week – and first up is the dreaded Chef’s Table.

The finalists will be cooking for 28 big names in the world of gastronomy – who have 30 Michelin stars between them.

Each competing chef is taking on one course in the meal – either starter, fish, main, or pudding – and any weak links will quickly be exposed.

Still, nobody is leaving until the next episode, where four will become three ahead of the last episode in the series.
